Why it’s moment No. 6: Before this season began, there were few quarterbacks in the nation that had as much pressure as Florence to replace a school’s former quarterback. Griffin had won a Heisman and 10 games for the Bears the year before and broke all kinds of records.

Not only did he replace Griffin, he broke his season record for passing yards in a season (4,309) and led the team to be better offensively (statistically at least).

‘For me, I just wanted a chance to play,’ Florence said in the press conference following the win over UCLA. ‘I just happened to follow a Heisman Trophy winner. I’m not Robert. I’m not 6-3. I don’t run a 4.3. You saw that tonight. Man, if I could run a 4.3, it would be nice. So I just had to be me. I tried to manage this offense and play within myself. He’s a heck of player, he’s done a heck of a job for this program, put us on the map. I’m humbled and honored to hold that record. He deserves it. I never thought that would have happened this year. I just wanted to win games.’

Back in August, it was reported that Florence would be appealing to the NCAA for another year of eligibility. If he’s successful (which is a long shot), he’ll have another chance to build on his legacy at Baylor.
